If you have always wanted to learn to play golf, you may have been intimidated by the prospect of taking private one-on-one lessons with an instructor. Because of this, you may be looking into businesses that offer group lessons where you can either join with strangers or include your friends and family members.

While you may look forward to the social interaction and excitement of sharing the learning experience with others, you may also be wondering what is included. When you contact a business about taking group lessons to help you learn golf, you can start gathering information by asking the questions discussed below.

1. What Level and Types of Golf Swings Will the Group's Instructor Concentrate on During the Lessons?

One thing you can ask when you speak with someone about taking group lessons has to do with what levels and golf swings are covered in each one. Ideally, the instructor should concentrate on a specific level that meets the needs of the entire group.

If you are just starting out, sign up for a group that has a focus on the beginning level of golf. While learning at the beginner's level, the instructor should focus on the basic golf swings, such as driving and putting.

2. Does the Instructor Take Time to Address Problem Areas for Each Individual in the Group?

Another question you should ask when signing up for group lessons is whether the instructor will take time to address specific problem areas that each individual in the group may be having. Even if only one person is having issues, being shown how to correct an error in order to perform a swing correctly will benefit everyone. 

For example, if you or another group member is having problems with hooking the ball to the right, the instructor can show the proper stance and swing to everyone. They can also show you when you may actually need to hook the balls, such as when you are trying to play behind a tree or other obstacle.

To better prepare yourself for the upcoming group lessons, ask whether they will focus on beginning lessons as well as the types of swings the instructor will focus on with the group. You can also ask whether the instructor will address problems with swings for each individual in the group, which can also be educational for other members who may face the issues later. For more information about what will be covered as well as to sign yourself and others up, contact a business that offers group golf lessons to speak with a representative.
